Supported Living Services

Affinity Trust is a national charity providing person-centred, innovative support for people with learning disabilities in the UK. We have a history of working with people who have a range of support needs including those who have high, complex or specialist support needs as well as people who have previously been highlighted as having ‘challenging’ reputations. We focus on the individual and their particular needs and work with them to achieve their goals and aspirations.

Many of the people we support have come from institutional settings and we have worked with them to transform their level of independence and often, as a result, their quality of life. Supported living is our main area of support, and we are committed to offering this model for people with learning disabilities in preference to typical residential care homes.

Our mission is to enable people with learning disabilities to pursue active and fulfilling lives, gain increased independence and achieve equal rights as citizens. Our values are to be committed to doing our very best for the people we support and never giving up, reliable, honestand open in all of our relationships and transactions, respectful of others, their views and their rights, inclusive in how we value diversity, support equality of access to opportunities and challenge discrimination, and creative and flexible in our thinking, in our work and in how we use our resources.

Mencap is the leading voice of learning disability. Everything we do is about valuing and supporting people with a learning disability and their families and carers. Our vision is a world where people with a learning disability are valued equally, listened to and included.

The purpose of all the support we provide is to help people with a learning disability be as independent as possible and live the life they want.

Sometimes that means giving people a bit of extra support with day-to-day activities like going to the shops, sometimes it means round-the-clock support, sometimes it means giving carers the break they need to carry on supporting someone. We support people in a way that fits around their lives.

The assistance we provide supports people to become more independent and grow in confidence to the point where they need less from us.

Mencap’s support is available from a couple of hours a week to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Below are examples of the support we offer:

Support to get involved in the local community
